It seems I've lost the knack of writing about projects currently on the go, so when I disappear, it's because I'm busy in the middle of working on something, and only remember that maybe I could track progress here on the blog. You'd think after so many years blogging I'd have the hang of that...
So, a couple of pictures of things I've finished recently.
First, the Sierra sweater from Jane Ellison's first Mirasol Collection:
This is a shop sample for Karen at Shall We Knit -- it's in a lovely shade of yellow/gold Cotonani. I've got some blue set aside to knit one of this for myself.
I should point out that Cotonani has been discontinued. It figures. Whenever I like a yarn, it disappears.
Next up:
It's a Swirl Shawl, from Jojoland, knit in Jojoland Melody. Easy and, if I'm honest, a bit boring after a while. And I'm not sure I'm as keen on the rectangular shape for myself. I think I might try this again, laying the modules out a little differently. Might spin my own yarn for it, too.
I've also spent rather a lot of time in the last while knitting beaded cuffs/wrist warmers/pulse warmers/whatever you'd like to call them. I've got some patterns that will appear on Patternfish, but this one is already there:
The pattern is called "Chandni", and it was a bit of a challenge -- Shall We Knit got some colours of Shibui Sock yarn in stock, and I decided to try to come up with a new pattern for the DKC Spring Frolic. Crazy, yes, but I'm kind of pleased at how they turned out.
That's about it -- I have a project I'm working on that I can't blog about yet, and I'm still trying to decide if I should start something new as well, or just concentrate on the one thing.
Oh, almost forgot -- I just found out I'm going to have a pattern published in the summer issue of Knitty. I can't post anything about it here on the blog, but Amy Singer did say that I could show it off in person, so if you know me, see me at knit night, you can ask to see it.
